Does Ktor always throw a subclass of RuntimeException?

Edit: nope, just found the BadContentTypeException : Exception. try { client.request() } catch(e: Exception) it is then.

What did such impression first? Why did you think so?

Well, in Kotlin there is no big difference between Exception and RuntimeException, so there is no reason to make them all runtime exceptions

Originally I was looking for a way to catch everything that could be expected to throw from HttpClient.request without resorting to catch(e: Exception). But that catches also the unexpected stuff.

Like on the JVM I'd catch IOException from an IO framework.
